The Dark Side Of The Singularity | Answers With Joe
I don't understand why the Corona virus has taken over everyone's attention. It's the flu, we get a flu epidemic every year, some years are a little worse than others, but this year it's like everyone has lost their mind. On one hand, it might just be a self-reinforcing panic, some people talk about it, they talk to more people, and it just kind of grows organically. Or maybe the Illuminati (whoever they are), or maybe just some scumbag like Bloomberg or Murdoch (is he even still alive? Yes, he is.) are promoting this panic for their own nefarious reasons. In any case the reaction seems to be way out of proportion to the actual problem.
But then we have this video from Joe (above, it's two years old) where he's talking about automation putting vast numbers of people out of work and how universal basic income might, might, be the solution.
And we have some people in the government talking about sending everyone a check because they (the government) have crashed the economy.
So maybe somebody (the mysterious Illuminati?) saw the economic disaster that automation is going to deliver, realized a universal basic income might be the answer, and saw this stupid flu epidemic as way to panic the nation into adopting universal basic income as a policy.
Gawd, I hate politics. It's the downside of free speech. Everybody gets to voice their opinion, even the terminally stupid. I'm going to go read a nice story about smart people, not stupid ones.
